Contrary to reports, Umesh Shukla of OMG OH MY GOD! fame will not be a part of Girish Joshi's comic thriller starring Arshad Warsi.

Though the script penned by Bhavesh Mandalia, who had earlier written OMG! did come to Umesh Shukla, the producer and director already had his kitty full with a three film deal with T-Series and another project with a huge production name.

Says Umesh Shukla's spokesperson, "There is no truth to reports of Umesh Shukla co-directing a film with Girish Joshi - Umesh is a thorough professional and though the film did come to him, he was completely tied up with his prior professional commitments and wanted to give them his complete focus.''

Putting an end to speculation says Umesh Shukla, "Girish Joshi is extremely talented and a very dear friend - I wish him luck with his film.''
